Although Anton Du Beke is known for being a contestant on "Strictly come dancing" he is a really good writer too.
I loved the time period it was set in and the characters were interesting and diverse.
I have found out there is also a companion volume preceding this one and after reading this it has made me want to read that as well.
Although it was a great story on its own and you don't really need to read the other to enjoy this one, it doesn't really spoil it in any way.
The cover art is beautiful and well detailed as the lady's dress on the cover is also mentioned within the novel.
All in all I found it a thoroughly enjoyable read.
Rich in hisitorical detail it really captures the glamour of the era.
